1 OVERVIEW AND KEY FEATURES
Every BL652 Series module is designed to enable OEMs to add single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v4.2 to
small, portable, power- o s ious de i es. The BL
odules a e suppo ted ith Lai d s smartBASIC, an eventdriven programming language that enables OEMs to make their BLE product development quicker and simpler,
significantly reducing time to market. smartBASIC enables customers to develop a complete embedded application
inside the compact BL652 hardware, connecting to a wide array of external sensors via its I2C, SPI, UART, ADC or
GPIO i te fa es. The BL
also p o ides fle i ilit i the OEM s appli atio de elop e t hoi e ith full suppo t
fo usi g No di s “DK a d fi
a e tools.
Based on the world-leading Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 chipset, the BL652 modules provide ultra-low power
consumption with outstanding wireless range via 4 dBm of transmit power. A broad range of BLE profiles including
Temperature and Heart Rate are available, and smartBASIC provides the ideal mechanism to support any BLE
profile development of your choice. This document should be read in conjunction with the smartBASIC user
manual.
Note:
BL652 hardware is functionally capable as the nRF52832 chipset used in the module design.
Not all features are currently exposed withi Lai d s smartBASIC firmware implementation.

Datasheet
Module Specification Notes:
Note 2 With I2C interface selected, pull-up resistors on I2C SDA and I2C SCL must be connected externally as
per I2C standard.
Note 3 SPI interface (master) consists of SPI MOSI, SPI MISO, and SPI CLK. SPI CS is created by using any
spare SIO pin within the smartBASIC application script allowing multi-dropping.
Note 4 The BL652 module comes loaded with smartBASIC runtime engine firmware but does not come
loaded with any smartBASIC application script (as that is dependent on customer-end application or
use). Laird provides many sample smartBASIC application scripts covering the services listed.
Additional BLE services are being added every quarter.
Note 5 Use of the internal DCDC convertor or LDO is decided by the underlying BLE stack.
Note 6 These figures are measured on the BL652-Sx-xx.
 Deep Sleep current for BL652-Sx-xx ~400nA (typical)
 Standby Doze current for BL652-xx-A1 1.2uA (typical)
Note 7 PWM output signal has a frequency and duty cycle property. PWM output is generated using
dedicated hardware in the chipset. There is a trade-off between PWM output frequency and
resolution.
For example:
 PWM output frequency of 500 kHz (2 uS) results in resolution of 1:2.
 PWM output frequency of 100 kHz (10 uS) results in resolution of 1:10.
 PWM output frequency of 10 kHz (100 uS) results in resolution of 1:100.
 PWM output frequency of 1 kHz (1000 uS) results in resolution of 1:1000.

BL652
Datasheet
Pin Definition Notes:
Note 2 DIO = Digital Input or Output.
I/O voltage level tracks VCC.
Note 3 AIN = Analog Input
Note 4 DIO or AIN functionality is selected using the GpioSetFunc() function in smartBASIC.
Note 5 AIN configuration selected using GpioSetFunc() function.
Note 6 I2C, UART, SPI controlled by xxxOPEN() functions in smartBASIC.
Note 7 SIO_5 to SIO_8 are DIO by default when $autorun$ app runs on power-up.
Note 8 JTAG (two-wire SWD interface), pin 5 (SWDIO) and pin 6 (SWDCLK).
JTAG is NOT required for customer use. Upgrading smartBASIC runtime engine firmware or loading
the smartBASIC applications is done using the UART interface.
Note 9 Pull the nRESET pin (pin 7) low for minimum 100 milliseconds to reset the BL652.
Note 10 SPI CS is created by using any spare SIO pin within their smartBASIC application script allowing multidropping.
Note 11 The SIO_02 pin must be pulled high externally to enable an OTA (over-the-air) smartBASIC
application download. Refer to the latest firmware release documentation for details.
Note 12 Ensure that SIO_02 (pin 23) and AutoRUN (pin 28) are not both high (externally), in that state, the
UART is bridged to Virtual Serial Port service; the BL652 module does not respond to AT commands
and cannot load smartBASIC application scripts.
Note 13 The smartBASIC runtime engine has DIO (Default Function) INPUT pins, which are set PULL-UP by
default. This avoids floating inputs (which can cause current consumption to drive with time in low
power modes (such as StandbyDoze). You can disable the PULL-UP through your smartBASIC
application.
All of the SIO pins (with a default function of DIO) are inputs (apart from SIO_05 and SIO_08, which
are outputs):




BL652
Datasheet
Pin Definition Notes:
 SIO_02 is an input set with internal pull-down (in the firmware). It is used for OTA downloading
of smartBASIC applications. Refer to the latest firmware release documentation for details.
Note 14 Not required for BL652 module normal operation. If you fit an external serial (SPI) flash for data
logging purposes, then that external serial (SPI) flash must connect to BL652 module pins SIO_12
(SFLASH_CS), SIO_14 (SFLASH_MISO), SIO_16 (SFLASH_CLK), and SIO_20 (SFLASH_MOSI); in that
case, a high level API in smartBASIC can be used for fast access using open/close/read/write API
functions.
By default, these are GPIO pins. Only when in their FlashOpen() smartBASIC app are these lines
dedicated to SPI and for talking to the off-board flash.
If you decide to use an external serial (SPI) flash with BL652-SX-xx, then ONLY the manufacturer part
numbers below MUST be used:

4 Mbit Macronix MX25R4035F
http://www.macronix.com/Lists/DataSheet/Attachments/3288/MX25R4035F,%20Wide%20Ran
ge,%204Mb,%20v1.2.pdf

http://www.macronix.com/Lists/DataSheet/Attachments/3532/MX25R8035F,%20Wide%20Ran
ge,%208Mb,%20v1.2.pdf
smartBASIC does not provide access to any external serial (SPI) flash other than these part numbers.
Note 15 Not required for BL652 module normal operation. The on-chip 32.768kHz RC oscillator provides the
standard accuracy of ±250 ppm, with calibration required every 8seconds (default) to stay within
±250 ppm.
BL652 also allows as an option to connect an external higher accuracy (±20 ppm) 32.768 kHz crystal
to the BL652-SX-xx pins SIO_01/XL2 (pin 24) and SIO_00/XL1 (pin 25). This provides higher accuracy
protocol timing and helps with radio power consumption in the system standby doze/deep sleep
modes by reducing the time that the Rx window must be open.
The BL652 module is delivered with the integrated smartBASIC runtime engine firmware loaded (but no onboard
smartBASIC application script). Therefore it boots into AT command mode by default.
At reset, all SIO lines are configured as the defaults shown above.
SIO lines can be configured through the smartBASIC application script to be either inputs or outputs with pull-ups
or pull-downs. When an alternative SIO function is selected (such as I2C or SPI), the firmware does not allow the
setup of internal pull-up/pull-down. Therefore, when I2C interface is selected, pull-up resistors on I2C SDA and
I2C SCL must be connected externally as per I2C standard.
UART_RX, UART_TX, and UART_CTS are 3.3 V level logic (if VCC is 3.3 V; such as SIO pin I/O levels track VCC). For
example, when Rx and Tx are idle, they sit at 3.3 V (if VCC is 3.3 V). Conversely, handshaking pins CTS and RTS at
0V are treated as assertions.

Datasheet
Pin 28 (nAutoRUN) is an input, with active low logic. In the development kit (DVK-BL652-xx) it is connected so
that the state is d i e
the host s DT‘ output li e. The Auto‘UN pi

select between the following two BL652 operating modes:


Self-contained Run mode (nAutoRUN pin held at 0V –this is the default (internal pull-down enabled))
Interactive/Development mode (nAutoRUN pin held at VCC)
The smartBASIC runtime engine firmware checks for the status of nAutoRUN during power-up or reset. If it is low
and if there is a smartBASIC application script named $autorun$, then the smartBASIC runtime engine firmware
executes the application script automatically; hence the name Self-contained Run Mode.

Recommended Operating Parameters Notes:
Note 1 Stay within internal 0.6 V reference voltage with given pre-scaling on AIN pin and do not violate ADC
maximum input voltage (for damage) for a given VCC, e.g. If VCC is 3.6V, you can only expose AIN pin
to VDD+0.3 V. Default pre-scaling is 1/6 which configurable via smartBASIC.
Note 2 smartBASIC runtime engine firmware allows configurable resolution (8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit mode)
and acquisition time. The sampling frequency is limited by the sum of sampling time and acquisition
time. The maximum sampling time is 2us. For acquisition time of 3us the total conversion time is
therefore 5us, which makes maximum sampling frequency of 1/5us = 200kHz. Similarly, if acquisition
time of 40us chosen, then the conversion time is 42us and the maximum sampling frequency is
1/42us = 23.8kHz
Note 3 ADC input impedance is estimated mean impedance of the ADC (AIN) pins.

High (VCC), then OTA smart BASIC application download is possible.
The OTA smartBASIC application download feature can be useful for production because it allows the module to
be soldered into an end product without pre-configuration; the application can then be downloaded over-the-air
once the product has been pre-tested.
Note:
It is the smartBASIC application that is downloaded over-the-air and NOT the firmware. Since this is
principally designed for use in production with multiple programming stations in a locality, the
transmit power is limited (to lower Tx power). See the smartBASIC user guide for more details.

that are enabled stay on and may re-awaken the chip. Depending on active peripherals, current
consumption ranges from ~1.2 µA to 270 uA (when UART is ON). See individual peripherals current
consumption data in the Peripheral Block Current Consumption section. smartBASIC runtime engine
firmware has added new functionality to detect GPIO change with no current consumption cost, it is
possible to close the UART and get to the 1.2uA current consumption regime and still be able to
detect for incoming data and be woken up so that the UART can be re-opened at expense of losing
that first character.
Note 3 In Deep Sleep, everything is disabled and the only wake-up sources (including NFC to wakeup) are
reset and changes on SIO or NFC pins on which sense is enabled. The current consumption seen is
~400 nA typical in BL652-Sx-xx.
 smartBASIC runtime engine firmware requires a hardware reset to come out of deep sleep.
 smartBASIC runtime engine firmware also allows coming out from Deep Sleep to Standby Doze
through GPIO signal through the reset vector. Deep Sleep mode is entered with a command in
smartBASIC application script.
Note 4 Data taken with a transmit power of 4 dBm and all peripherals off (UART OFF after radio event), slave
latency of 0 (in a connection). Average current consumption depends on a number of factors
(including Tx power, VCC, accuracy of 32MHz and 32.768 kHz). With these factors fixed, the largest
variable is the advertising or connection interval set.
Advertising Interval range:


20 milliseconds to 10240 milliseconds in multiples of 0.625 milliseconds for the following Advert
type: ADV_IND and ADV_DIRECT_IND
100 milliseconds to 10240 milliseconds in multiples of 0.625 milliseconds for the following
Advert types: ADV_SCAN_IND and ADV_NONCONN_IND
For advertising timeout, if the advert type is ADV_DIRECT_IND, then the timeout is limited to
1.28 seconds (1280 milliseconds).
For an advertising event:


The minimum average current consumption is when the advertising interval is large 10240 mS
(although this may cause long discover times (for the advertising event) by scanners
The maximum average current consumption is when the advertising interval is small 20 mS
Other factors that are also related to average current consumption include the advertising
payload bytes in each adve tisi g pa ket a d hethe it s o ti uousl ad e tisi g o
periodically advertising.
Connection Interval range:

7.5 milliseconds to 4000 milliseconds in multiples of 1.25 milliseconds.
For a connection event:


The minimum average current consumption is when the connection interval is large 4000
milliseconds
The maximum average current consumption is with the shortest connection interval of 7.5 ms;
no slave latency.

Note:
In the above pictures, UART is OFF. Y-axis current (1.3 mA per square).
To make things easier the average current during the whole BLE event is shown in the plot above, and then the
BLE event total charge consumption is found by multiplying the average current over the BLE event with the
length of the event. This charge can then be used to extrapolate the average current for different advertising
intervals, by dividing by the interval. Then the StandbyDoze (IDLE) current must be added to give the total
average current. In this example we can calculate the average current to be:
The total charge of the BLE event:
BLE_charge = BLE_avg * BLE_length
The average current consumed by the BLE event for a specific interval:
BLE_avg = BLE_charge / (BLE_interval + perturbation)
The perturbation is given as a random number between 0 and 10 milliseconds added to the interval to prevent
advertisers to periodically transmit at the exact same time. This averages to 5 milliseconds.

Adding the IDLE current (StandbyDoze mode) to the inactive part of the interval:

Performing the calculation with the numbers 25mS advertising internal and TX power for 4dBm for example:
BLE_charge = 4.377 ms * 2.91 mA = 12.74 uC
BLE_avg = 12.74 uC / 25 ms + 5 ms) = 509.78 uA
TOT_avg = 509.78 uA + 2 uA * (25 ms - 4.377 ms)/25 ms = 511.43 uA

The above current consumption is for the given peripheral only and to operate that peripheral requires some
other internal blocks which consume base current. This base current is consumed when the UART, SPI, I2C, or
ADC is opened (operated).
For asynchronous interface like the UART (asynchronous as the other end can communicate at any time), the
UART on the BL652 must be kept open (by a command in smartBASIC application script), resulting in the base
current consumption penalty.
For a synchronous interface like the I2C or SPI (since BL652 side is the master), the interface can be closed and
opened (by a command in smartBASIC application script) only when needed, resulting in current saving (no base
current consumption penalty). The e s a si ila a gu e t fo ADC ope ADC he eeded .

Datasheet
Clocks and Timers
5.2.1 Clocks
The integrated high accuracy 32 MHz (±10 ppm) crystal oscillator helps with radio operation and reducing power
consumption in the active modes.
The integrated on-chip 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (±250 ppm) provides protocol timing and helps with radio power
consumption in the system StandByDoze and Deep Sleep modes by reducing the time that the RX window needs
to be open.
To keep the on-chip 32.768 kHz RC oscillator within ±250 ppm (which is needed to run the BLE stack) accuracy,
RC oscillator needs to be calibrated (which takes 16-17 mS) regularly. The default calibration interval is eight
seconds which is enough to keep within ±250 ppm. The calibration interval ranges from 0.25 seconds to 31.75
seconds (in multiples of 0.25 seconds) and configurable via smartBASIC command at+cfg210.
5.2.2 Timers
In keeping with the event driven paradigm of smartBASIC, the timer subsystem enables smartBASIC applications
to be written which allow future events to be generated based on timeouts.


Regular Timer – There are eight built-in timers (regular timers) derived from a single RTC clock which are
controlled solely by smart BASIC functions. The resolution of the regular timer is 976 microseconds.
Tick Timer – A 31-bit free running counter that increments every (1) millisecond. The resolution of this
counter is 488 microseconds. Use the functions GetTickCount() and GetTickSince() to access this counter.
Refer to the smart BASIC User Guide available from the Laird BL652 product page.

UART Interface
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter offers fast, full-duplex, asynchronous serial communication
with built-in flow control support (UART_CTS, UART_RTS) in HW up to one Mbps baud. Parity checking and
generation for the ninth data bit are supported.
UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_RTS, and UART_CTS form a conventional asynchronous serial data port with
handshaking. The interface is designed to operate correctly when connected to other UART devices such as the
16550A. The signaling levels are nominal 0 V and 3.3 V (tracks VCC) and are inverted with respect to the signaling
on an RS232 cable.
Two-way hardware flow control is implemented by UART_RTS and UART_CTS. UART_RTS is an output and
UART_CTS is an input. Both are active low.
These signals operate according to normal industry convention. UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS, UART_RTS are
all 3.3 V level logic (tracks VCC). For example, when RX and TX are idle they sit at 3.3 V. Conversely for
handshaking pins CTS, RTS at 0 V is treated as an assertion.
The module communicates with the customer application using the following signals:

Note:
The BL652 serial module output is at 3.3V CMOS logic levels (tracks VCC). Level conversion must be
added to interface with an RS-232 level compliant interface.

BL652
Datasheet
Some serial implementations link CTS and RTS to remove the need for handshaking. We do not recommend
linking CTS and RTS other than for testing and prototyping. If these pins are linked and the host sends data at the
point that the BL652 deasserts its RTS signal, then there is significant risk that internal receive buffers will
overflow, which could lead to an internal processor crash. This will drop the connection and may require a power
cycle to reset the module. We recommend that the correct CTS/RTS handshaking protocol be adhered to for
proper operation.

The UART interface is also used to load customer developed smartBASIC application script.
SPI Bus
The SPI interface is an alternate function on SIO pins, configurable by smartBASIC.
The module is a master device that uses terminals SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, and SPI_CLK. SPI_CS is implemented using
any spare SIO digital output pins to allow for multi-dropping.
The SPI interface enables full duplex synchronous communication between devices. It supports a 3-wire (SPI_MOSI,
SPI_MISO, SPI_SCK,) bidirectional bus with fast data transfers to and from multiple slaves. Individual chip select
signals are necessary for each of the slave devices attached to a bus, but control of these is left to the application
through use of SIO signals. I/O data is double-buffered.
The SPI peripheral supports SPI mode 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Comments
This interface is an alternate function configurable by

smartBASIC selects SPI function and changes pin 3 and 38 to outputs (when in S
master mode).
SPI_CS is implemented using any spare SIO digital output pins to allow for
multi-dropping. On Laird devboard SIO_22 (pin4) used as SPI_CS.
I2C Interface
The I2C interface is an alternate function on SIO pins, configurable by smartBASIC command.
The two-wire interface can interface a bi-directional wired-OR bus with two lines (SCL, SDA) and has master
/slave topology. The interface is capable of clock stretching. Data rates of 100 kbps and 400 kbps are supported.

BL652
Datasheet
An I2C interface allows multiple masters and slaves to communicate over a shared wired-OR type bus consisting
of two lines which normally sit at VCC. The BL652 module can only be configured as an I2C master with additional
constraint that it be the only master on the bus. The SCL is the clock line which is always sourced by the master
and SDA is a bi-directional data line which can be driven by any device on the bus.
IMPORTANT:
It is essential to remember that pull-up resistors on both SCL and SDA lines are not provided in
the module and MUST be provided external to the module.

5.9.3 PWM Signal Output on up to 12 SIO Pins
The PWM output is an alternate function on SIO pins, configurable by smartBASIC.
The ability to output a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signal on ALL GPIO (SIO) output pins can be selected using
GpioSetFunc() function.
The PWM output signal has a frequency and duty cycle property. Frequency is adjustable (up to 1MHz ) and the
duty cycle can be set over a range from 0% to 100% (both configurable by smart BASIC command).
5.9.4 FREQ Signal Output on up to 2 SIO Pins
The FREQ output is an alternate function on SIO pins, configurable by smartBASIC.
The ability to output a FREQ output signal on 2 GPIO (SIO) output pins can be selected using GpioSetFunc()
function.
Note:
The frequency driving each of the two SIO pins is the same but the duty cycle can be independently
set for each pin.
FREQ output signal frequency can be set over a range of 0Hz to 4 MHz (with 50% mark-space ratio).

Figure 7 shows the difference between VSP Bridge to UART mode and VSP Command mode and how SIO_02 and
nAutoRUN must be configured to select between these two modes.


VSP Bridge to UART mode takes data sent from phone or tablet (over BLE) and sends to BL652 to be sent
out of the BL652 UART (therefore data not stored on BL652).
VSP Command mode takes data sent from phone or tablet and sends to BL652 which will interpret as an AT
command and response will be sent back. The OTA Android or iOS application can be used to download any
smartBASIC application script over the air to the BL652 because a smartBASIC application is downloaded
using AT commands.

SIO_02 High (externally) selects the VSP service. When SIO_02 is High and nAutoRUN is Low (externally), this

UART mode.
When SIO_02 on module is set HIGH (externally), VSP is enabled and auto-bridged to UART when connected.
However, for VSP Command mode, auto-bridge to UART is not required. With SIO_02 set to High and nAutoRUN
set to Low, the device enters VSP Command mode and you can then download the smartBASIC application onto
the module over the air from the phone (or tablet).

Wake up when signal is low
Wake up when signal is high
Wake up when signal changes
Refer to the smartBASIC user guide for details. You can access this guide from the Laird BL652 product page.
Low Power Modes
The BL652 has three power modes: Run, Standby Doze, and Deep Sleep.
The module is placed automatically in Standby Doze if there are no pending events (when WAITEVENT statement
is e ou te ed ithi a usto e s smartBASIC script). The module wakes from Standby Doze via any interrupt
(such as a received character on the UART Rx line). If the module receives a UART character from either the
external UART or the radio, it wakes up.
Deep sleep is the lowest power mode. Once awakened, the system goes through a system reset.
Temperature Sensor
The on-silicon temperature sensor has a temperature range greater than or equal to the operating temperature
of the device. Resolution is 0.25 degrees.
To read temperature from on-silicon temperature sensor (in tenth of centigrade, so 23.4°C is output as 234):

Optional External Serial (SPI) Flash
This is not required for normal BL652 module opertion.
If you fit an optional external serial (SPI) flash (such as for data logging purpose) then that external serial (SPI)
flash must connect to BL652 module pins SIO_12 (SFLASH_CS), SIO_14 (SFLASH_MISO), SIO_16 (SFLASH_CLK),
and SIO_20 (SFLASH_MOSI); in that case a high level API in smartBASIC can be used for fast access using
open/close /read/write API functions.
Note:
By default, these are GPIO pins. Only when in their FlashOpen()smartBASIC app are these lines
dedicated to SPI and for talking to the off-module board SPI flash.
If you decide to use external serial (SPI) flash with the BL652-SX-xx, then ONLY the manufacturer part numbers
below MUST be used:



For any external serial (SPI) flash other than these part numbers, smartBASIC does not provide access.
Optional External 32.768 kHz crystal
This is not required for normal BL652 module operation.
The BL652 uses the on-chip 32.76 kHz RC oscillator (LFCLK) by default (which has an accuracy of ±250 ppm) which
requires regulator calibration (every eight seconds) to within ±250 ppm.
You can connect an optional external high accuracy (±20 ppm) 32.768 kHz crystal to the BL652-SX-xx pins,
SIO_01/XL2 (pin 24) and SIO_00/XL1 (pin 25) to provide improved protocol timing and to help with radio power
consumption in the system standby doze/deep sleep modes by reducing the time that the RX window needs to
be open. Table 26 compares the current consumption difference between RC and crystal oscillator.

The BL652 development board was used for BL652 development and antenna performance evaluation. To obtain
similar performance, follow guidelines in section PCB Layout on Host PCB for BL652-SA to allow the on-board
antenna to radiate and reduce proximity effects due to nearby host PCB GND copper or metal covers.

6 HARDWARE INTEGRATION SUGGESTIONS
Circuit
The BL652 is easy to integrate, requiring no external components on your board apart from those which you
require for development and in your end application.
The following are suggestions for your design for the best performance and functionality.
Checklist (for Schematic):





VCC pins
External power source should be within the operating range, rise time and noise/ripple specification of the
BL652. Add decoupling capacitors for filtering the external source. Power-on reset circuitry within BL652
series module incorporates brown-out detector, thus simplifying your power supply design. Upon
application of power, the internal power-on reset ensures that the module starts correctly.
VCC and coin-cell operation
With built-in DCDC (operating range 1.7V to 3.6V), reduces the peak current required from a coin-cell
(CR2032), making it easier to use with coin-cell.
AIN (ADC) and SIO pin IO voltage levels
BL652 SIO voltage levels are at VCC. Ensure input voltage levels into SIO pins are at VCC also (if VCC source is
a battery whose voltage will drop). Ensure ADC pin maximum input voltage for damage is not violated.
AIN (ADC) impedance and external voltage divider setup
If you need to measure with ADC a voltage higher than 3.6V, you can connect a high impedance voltage
divider to lower the voltage to the ADC input pin.
JTAG
This is not required as smartBASIC runtime engine firmware can be loaded using the UART. JTAG may be
used if you intend to use Flash Cloning during production to load smartBASIC scripts.

UART
Required for loading your smartBASIC application script during development (or for subsequent firmware
upgrades (except JTAG for FW upgrades and/or Flash Cloning of the smartBASIC application script). Add
connector to allow interfacing with UART via PC (UART–RS232 or UART-USB).
UART_RX and UART_CTS
SIO_8 (alternative function UART_RX) is an input, set with internal weak pull-up (in firmware). The pull-up
prevents the module from going into deep sleep when UART_RX line is idling.
SIO_7 (alternative function UART_CTS) is an input, set with internal weak pull-down (in firmware). This pulldown ensures the default state of the UART_CTS will be asserted which means can send data out of the
UART_TX line. Laird recommends that UART_CTS be connected.
nAutoRUN pin and operating mode selection
nAutoRUN pin needs to be externally held high or low to select between the two BL652 operating modes at
power-up:
– Self-contained Run mode (nAutoRUN pin held at 0V).
– Interactive / development mode (nAutoRUN pin held at VCC).
Make provision to allow operation in the required mode. Add jumper to allow nAutoRUN pin to be
held high or low (BL652 has internal 13K pull-down by default) OR driven by host GPIO.
I2C
It is essential to remember that pull-up resistors on both I2C_SCL and I2C_SDA lines are not provided in the
BL652 module and MUST be provided external to the module as per I2C standard.
SPI
Implement SPI chip select using any unused SIO pin within your smartBASIC application script then SPI_CS is
controlled from smartBASIC application allowing multi-dropping.
SIO pin direction
BL652 modules shipped from production with smart BASIC runtime engine FW, all SIO pins (with default
function of DIO) are mostly digital inputs (see Pin Definitions Table2). Remember to change the direction SIO
pin (in your smart BASIC application script) if that particular pin is wired to a device that expects to be driven
by the BL652 SIO pin configured as an output. Also, these SIO pins have the internal pull-up or pull-down
resistor-enabled by default in firmware (see Pin Definitions Table 2). This was done to avoid floating inputs,
which can cause current consumption in low power modes (e.g. StandbyDoze) to drift with time. You can
disable the PULL-UP or Pull-down through their smartBASIC application.
Note:

Internal pull-up, pull down will take current from VCC.
SIO_02 pin and OTA smartBASIC application download feature
SIO_02 is an input, set with internal pull-down (in FW). Refer to latest firmware release documentation on
how SIO_02 is used for Over the Air smartBASIC application download feature. SIO_02 pin has to be pulled
high externally to enable the feature. Decide if this feature is required in production. When SIO_02 is high,
ensure nAutoRun is NOT high at same time; otherwise you cannot load the smartBASIC application script.

PCB Layout on Host PCB - General
Checklist (for PCB):







MUST locate BL652-Sx module close to the edge of PCB (mandatory for BL652-SA for on-board chip antenna
to radiate properly).
Use solid GND plane on inner layer (for best EMC and RF performance).
All module GND pins MUST be connected to host PCB GND.
Place GND vias close to module GND pads as possible.
Unused PCB area on surface layer can flooded with copper but place GND vias regularly to connect copper
flood to inner GND plane. If GND flood copper underside the module then connect with GND vias to inner
GND plane.
Route traces to avoid noise being picked up on VCC supply and AIN (analogue) and SIO (digital) traces.
Ensure no exposed copper is on the underside of the module (refer to land pattern of BL652 development
board).
PCB Layout on Host PCB for BL652-SA
6.3.1 Antenna Keep-out on Host PCB
The BL652-SA has an integrated chip antenna and its performance is sensitive to host PCB. It is critical to locate
the BL652-SA on the edge of the host PCB (or corner) to allow the antenna to radiate properly. Refer to
guidelines in section PCB land pattern and antenna keep-out area for BL652-SA. Some of those guidelines
repeated below.



Ensure there is no copper in the antenna keep-out area on any layers of the host PCB. Keep all mounting
hardware and metal clear of the area to allow proper antenna radiation.
For best antenna performance, place the BL652-SA module on the edge of the host PCB, preferably in the
corner with the antenna facing the corner.
The BL652 development board has the BL652-SA module on the edge of the board (not in the corner). The

The BL652-SA antenna is tuned when BL652-SA is sitting on development board (host PCB) with size of 120
mm x 93 mm.
A different host PCB thickness dielectric will have small effect on antenna.
The antenna-keep-out defined in the Host PCB Land Pattern and Antenna Keep-out for BL652-SA section.
Host PCB land pattern and antenna keep-out for the BL652 applies when the BL652-SA is placed in the
corner of the host PCB. When BL652-SA cannot be placed as such, it must be placed on the edge of the host
PCB and the antenna keep out must be observed. Figure 9 shows an example.

Antenna Keep-out Notes:
Note 1 The BL652 module is placed on the edge of the host PCB.
Note 2 Copper cut-away on all layers in the Antenna Keep-out area under BL652 on host PCB.
6.3.2 Antenna Keep-out and Proximity to Metal or Plastic
Checklist (for metal /plastic enclosure):


Minimum safe distance for metals without seriously compromising the antenna (tuning) is 40 mm
top/bottom and 30 mm left or right.
Metal close to the BL652-SA chip monopole antenna (bottom, top, left, right, any direction) will have
degradation on the antenna performance. The amount of that degradation is entirely system dependent,
meaning you will need to perform some testing with your host application.

Any metal closer than 20 mm will begin to significantly degrade performance (S11, gain, radiation
efficiency).
It is best that you test the range with a mock-up (or actual prototype) of the product to assess effects of
enclosure height (and materials, whether metal or plastic).

Reflow Parameters
Prior to any reflow, it is important to ensure the modules were packaged to prevent moisture absorption. New
packages contain desiccate (to absorb moisture) and a humidity indicator card to display the level maintained
during storage and shipment. If directed to bake units on the card, see Table 30 and follow instructions specified
by IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033. A copy of this standard is available from the JEDEC website:
http://www.jedec.org/sites/default/files/docs/jstd033b01.pdf
Note:
The shipping tray cannot be heated above 65°C. If baking is required at the higher temperatures
displayed in in Table 30, the modules must be removed from the shipping tray.
Any modules not manufactured before exceeding their floor life should be re-packaged with fresh desiccate and
a new humidity indicator card. Floor life for MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 3 devices is 168 hours in ambient
environment 30°C/60%RH.

The BL652 module internal BLE chipset IC pins are rated 4 kV (ESD HBM). ESD can find its way through
the external JTAG connector (if used on the customers design), if discharge is applied directly.
Customer should ensure adequate protection against ESD on their end product design (using the
BL652 module) to meet relevant ESD standard (for CE, this is EN301-489).

It is a mandatory requirement of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) that every product implementing
Bluetooth technology has a Declaration ID. Every Bluetooth design is required to go through the qualification
process, even when referencing a Bluetooth Design that already has its own Declaration ID. The Qualification
Process requires each company to register as a member of the Bluetooth SIG – www.bluetooth.org
The following is a link to the Bluetooth Registration page: https://www.bluetooth.org/login/register/
For each Bluetooth Design it is necessary to purchase a Declaration ID. This can be done before starting the new
qualification, either through invoicing or credit card payment. The fees for the Declaration ID will depend on your
membership status, please refer to the following webpage:
https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/test-qualification/qualification-overview/fees
For a detailed procedure of how to obtain a new Declaration ID for your design, please refer to the following SIG
document:
https://www.bluetooth.org/DocMan/handlers/DownloadDoc.ashx?doc_id=283698&vId=317486
Qualification Steps When Referencing a Laird End Product Design
To qualify your product when referencing a Laird end-product design, follow these steps:
1. To start a listing, go to: https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_SDoc.cfm
Note:
A user name and password are required to access this site.
2. In step 1, select the option, New Listing and Reference a Qualified Design.

3. Enter TBD or TBD in the End Product table entry.
4. Select your pre-paid Declaration ID from the drop down menu or go to the Purchase Declaration ID page.
Note:
Unless the Declaration ID is pre-paid or purchased with a credit card, you cannot proceed until the SIG
invoice is paid.
5. Once all the relevant sections of step 1 are finished, complete steps 2, 3, and 4 as described in the help
document accessible from the site.
Your new design will be listed on the SIG website and you can print your Certificate and DoC.
For further information please refer to the following training material:
https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/test-qualification/qualification-overview/listing-process-updates
Note:
If using the BL652 with Laird Firmware and smartBASIC script, you can skip Controller Subsystem, Host
Subsystem, and Profile Subsystem.
Qualification Steps When Deviating from a Laird End Product Design
If you wish to deviate from the standard End Product designs listed under TBD or TBD, the qualification process
follows the New Listing route (without referencing a Qualified Design). When creating a new design it is
necessary to complete the full qualification listing process and also maintain a compliance folder for the design.
If your design is based on un-modified BL652 hardware, follow these steps:
1. Reference the existing RF-PHY test report from the BL600 listing.
Note:
This report is available from Laird: ews-support@lairdtech.com
2. Combine the relevant Nordic Link Layer (LL).
3. Combine in a Host Component (covering L2CAP, GAP, ATT, GATT, SM).
4. Test any standard SIG profiles that are supported in the design, (customs
profiles are exempt).
The first step is to generate a project on the TPG (Test Plan Generator) system, select
T aditio al P oje t . This dete i es hi h test ases appl to de o st ate
compliance with the Bluetooth Test Specifications, from the TPG you generate a Test
Declaration, (Excel format). If you are combining pre-tested and qualified
components in your design, and they are within their 3 year listing period, you are
not required to re-test those layers covered by those components.

*Note: You may choose any Host Stack and optional profiles in you design.
If the design incorporates any standard SIG LE profiles (such as Heart Rate Profile, refer to section, External to the
Core - Current and Qualifiable GATT-based Profile and Service Test Requirements), it is necessary to test these
profiles using PTS or other tools where permitted; the results are added to the compliance folder.
You are required to upload your test declaration and test reports (where applicable) and complete the final
listing steps on the SIG website. Remember to purchase your Declaration ID before you start the qualification
process; you cannot complete the listing without it.
To start a listing, go to: https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_SDoc.cfm. In step 1, select the option, New Listing,
(without referencing a Qualified Design).
